 Post subject: ODISFA interpretationPosted: Mon Jun 20, 2005 11:31 am 
So I'm listening to One day I slowly Floated away in my truck, and it hits me from out of no where what the song is about. I think it's about a couple getting in a car wreck, and being grateful for the new day that they awake alive to. Let me see if I can break it down: One day I slowly floated away One day I slowly floated away The car has just wrecked, and the narrator is slipping away All the war horses wore rubber bands To hide their hooves from sinking sand The commander in charge was hoping that Their destiny was not to die war horses are ambulances (rubber bands; tires maybe?) The commander being the paramedic (hoping they would not die) Wake up in the morning I shall wake up, and so shall you And I wake up, the sun is beautiful And it is warming you and I Fragile as we lie They're lying in the hospital, fragile, But grateful. The sun is beautiful because they are able to see it again... Hard to foresee the future Our bodies are growing thin Glimpsing the peeling paint off The nurses ivory chin Future is unknown. She is weak. Will she make it through? You've got a lot of nerve coming here Your eyes are beating rhythms way Faster than the speeding bullet that Took the life of your radio He goes to her hospital room (she is obviously hurt worse than he was). And, I think the speeding bullet is the car, and the radio is the one inside of it. His eyes "beating rythms"- I think is to say he is holding back tears by blinking a whole lot. And in the corner chair Soft and soap-scented My darling cries apologies We foresee the mercy that's been shown My young limbs will not go unthanked or unseen He is in the hospital room saying his sorry's, and thanking the mercy that has been shown on their lives. Ok, so I have no idea if this is even close. But It just fit, and felt so right. Does anyone else agree?? Maybe?? possibly? _________________ Gosh, writings music Ryan5 wrote: I still love Eisley a gamahucheing million time better than farting |

I have no idea if that is right, but it does make sense. I never even considered that. _________________ There's a Starman waiting in the sky. |

I'm not very good with song meanings, I really just like to listen to the imagery, especially with Eisley songs, I can picture in my head the war horses and their riders going across the sand dunes at full tilt. |

no after standing to close to a hot air ballon as if floated up into the sky and as it did your leg got tangled up in a rope and then you fell to your death by instead of dieing you woke up a month later in a hospital with memories of dreams you had about being in a war and dieing and you loved ones are there and they are crying oh and you cowboy dad shot the radio _________________

Sweet interpretation. I've always thought it had something to do with dying and going to heaven, the floating away part being death. I think I like your version better.  _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

i like that, thats really cool, i think lyrics are generally open to personal interpretation, even if its not what the writer was thinking about when they wrote the song. anyway, thanks a lot! |
